Chanceux led and appeared to travel best throughout at Stratford last time but was mugged on the run-in by an outsider. He appears to have the beating of Feel The Pinch on that run, however. Madiba Passion also looked sure to win jumping the last at Lingfield in February but was overhauled by Gabriel's Getaway. With the latter a strong favourite for the 6.05 Exeter last night, this could be a good opportunity for Alan King’s front-runner to gain compensation as though Blueberry Wine won over course and distance four weeks ago, he was behind Sabbathical on more favourable terms at Leicester earlier. GANDHI MAKER was prominent when falling at the last at Carlisle last month and could be the one to be on here as he will be suited by the likely strong pace.
